STUDENT LIFE


THE REGIMENT OF MIDSHIPMENThe Regiment of Midshipmen is a uniformed student body that fosters self-confidence, teamwork, self-discipline, honor and integrity in young men and women. Although designed around the unlimited license majors of marine engineering and marine transportation, the Regiment also provides valuable opportunities to learn and practice managment and leadership skills. Midshipmen learn responsibility to self and others through challenging “leadership labs” designed around completing knowledge and fitness

tasks in their first year. By the second year, Midshipmen have the opportunity to expand their skills by taking responsibility for the training of the new first-year students. In the third year, Midshipmen partner with the outgoing senior class in providing oversight to the training staff, as well as developing and running programs for the 700-person-strong Regiment of Midshipmen.Participation in the Regiment of Midshipmen is a federal requirement for students seeking an unlimited license in marine engineering or marine transportation, but is open to all students. Regimental students also have additional training

requirements which include watch-standing duties and professional development classes. There is no military obligation after graduation.Regardless of participation in the Regiment, all students live in the same residence hall, attend classes together, and are eligible to participate in all campus clubs, organizations, activities, and athletics.

PARTICIPATION IN THE REGIMENT OF MIDSHIPMEN AT MAINE MARITIME ACADEMY IS OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS.

TRAINING CRUISEAs a student pursuing an unlimited U.S. Coast Guard license, annual sea terms will be a highlight of your academic year. Cruises are designed to develop the practical skills required of a Third Mate or Third

Assistant Engineer. These skills are developed through hands-on training, watch standing, and experiences in the operation and maintenance of a ship and all its systems. First- and third-year students apply skills learned on campus during summer training cruises to Caribbean,

European, and U.S. ports of call aboard a training ship. The first cruise is designed to give you an overall orientation in both deck and engineering departments. The third-year cruise involves training, watches and maintenance in your selected major.

VITAL COMPONENTS OF A MAINE MARITIME ACADEMY EDUCATION ARE THE PRACTICAL, HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES YOU RECEIVE, REGARDLESS OF MAJOR.

ABOARD SHIP, EVERY DETAIL COUNTS.

JAY S, AUBURN, MAINE

TRAINING


CADET SHIPPINGPlaced in real-life assignments, unlimited license candidates spend their sophomore summer aboard commercial vessels visiting ports worldwide. Students are assigned to merchant vessels as cadets for further familiarization with shipboard procedures, standing watches, and completing assigned projects within their major. Third Assistant Engineer

license candidates are required to train for a minimum of 60 days, while Third Mate license candidates are required to train for at least 90 days. Students seeking a 200-, 500-, or 1,600-ton mates license are required to complete sea days on appropriate vessels. Sea time is acquired through laboratories, simulations, cooperative work experiences, and a 14-day sail training cruise aboard the schooner Bowdoin.

MARITIME TRAININGRegimental students have additional training requirements, including shipboard maintenance, watch standing duty, and professional development classes.

TRAINING


COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONDesigned to enhance and build upon your classroom learning, your cooperative experience will be closely tied to your educational and career goals. Depending on your major, co-ops may involve positions:

• in shoreside power plants or industrial manufacturing facilities

• aboard oceanographic vessels or research laboratories

• aboard windjammers, private yachts, passenger vessels, tall ships, charters, ferries, tugs, or other work boats

• with logistics consulting firms

• in international transportation facilities

• in shipyards or engineering firms

IN TODAY’S COMPETITIVE JOB MARKET, THE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES YOU GAIN THROUGH MAINE MARITIME’S FOCUSED CO-OP PROGRAM WILL GIVE YOU A DECIDED EDGE.

TRAINING


NAVY ROTCMaine Maritime has a U.S. Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) unit. Interested students have the opportunity to earn a commission in the Navy or Marine Corps by completing highly specialized naval science instruction, training, and summer cruises, in addition to their regular academic responsibilities. Officers are commissioned in two categories:

• active duty through Navy ROTC participation, including the Seaman to Admiral (STA 21) commissioning program or Marine Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP),

• inactive duty reservists through the Strategic Sealift Officer Program (SSOP).

The Navy ROTC Scholarship Program awards four-, three-, or two-year scholarships that cover tuition, fees, and books, and include a monthly stipend and other benefits that can be worth as much as $120,000 for those from out of state with a four-year scholarship since these scholarship recipients also receive room and board.

Four-year scholarships are a competitive national selection based on grades, SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular and community activities, and leadership qualities. Limited two- and three-year scholarships are awarded based on performance at MMA and recommendation by the professor of Naval Science. The NROTC College Program pays a monthly stipend during the junior and senior years. Following graduation, newly commissioned officers pursue assignments in aviation, surface warfare, nuclear power (submarines), special operations forces (SEALs), or in the Marine Corps.The SSOP is designed to ensure the United States has a sufficient merchant marine to serve as naval support in time of a national emergency. The Maritime Administration (MARAD) funds a Student Incentive Payment (SIP) program of $8,000 annually to offset school costs. Completion of the SSOP qualifies students for an inactive duty commission as an Ensign in the Strategic Sealift Readiness Group.

U.S. COAST GUARD RESERVE OPPORTUNITIESThe Direct Commission Maritime Academy Graduate Program (MARGRAD) is available to individuals who hold a degree with an unlimited license from MMA. Graduates have education and training that enhances the Coast Guard’s ability to carry out its operational missions. Individuals selected will serve as Coast Guard Reserve Officers on full-time active duty.As a Coast Guard officer, you will join a growing team of marine safety specialists enforcing U.S. and international laws and regulations. You will inspect commercial ships and port facilities, investigate marine casualties, check for dangerous or illegal cargo, conduct harbor safety patrols and license and certify marine personnel. Later, you may be able to serve in other mission areas of the Coast Guard to broaden your experience.

TRAINING


Although you’re just beginning your college education, you would be wise to consider where it’s going to take you. Each year we place more than 90 percent of our graduating class in profes-sional employment or graduate studies. A high percentage of our graduating seniors accept employment prior to graduation with companies that they worked for while they were students. Many of those companies are represented by MMA Alumni who play a strong role in hiring our graduates. Throughout the year, our Career Services Office offers a variety of career counseling workshops that cover topics ranging from resume writing and interviewing tech-niques, to how and where to find a job. The office also puts students and graduates in touch with po-tential employers by maintaining a job bank and by coordinating job fairs, informational sessions, and interviews on campus. Maine Maritime graduates are known worldwide for getting the job done, at sea and ashore. You’ll find them in a wide range of lead-ership positions—from the bridge of a supertanker, to the Penta-gon, to the boardrooms of major corporations, to managers at Fortune 500 companies, to chief scientists on research vessels. An outstanding placement record and supportive career counseling services are just two reasons why Maine Maritime Academy is the college that works.
